For more severe or worsening cases, traditional medical treatment often involves bracing or even surgery. But promising research suggest that alternative treatments, including chiropractic adjustments, may eliminate the need for surgery in some severe cases.

For instance, a case study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine concludes that in "at least some severe and progressive cases of scoliosis, chiropractic treatment including spinal manipulation may decrease the need for surgery."

Another study that examined two cases found that chiropractic adjustments could control back pain and curve progression in patients with mature idiopathic scoliosis.

This is great news, because not only because scoliosis surgery may be hazardous, but new research shows that the metal plates and screws used in the surgery expose patients to possibly toxic substances. So, it is crucial to avoid this surgery whenever possible.
